Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
最后泪目了，他们牺牲了，但是他们是永不消逝的电波，一直活在我们心中，当时历史条件下，他们内心对祖国那份坚定真的是如磐石一般
看来当年的政宣电影的艺术水准十分在线，剧情设置和人物表演都拿捏得恰到好处，尤其是女反派柳秘书将那股敌特的聪明和诱惑劲儿表演得活灵活现，开头的三十分钟镜头衔接有一点点生硬，之后渐入佳境，台词打磨得很好。
老片子没看过，这次看的4K修复版。放今天来看肯定会觉得有些表演很僵硬，但作为几十年前的，还是可以看看的。但我觉得上色有点多余，黑白应该也很好啊，上得不够细致脸色随光影的变化不自然反而适得其反。
最好的观后感:我会很珍惜很珍惜今天的生活。
時代的記憶，今天來看似乎只剩文獻和紀念的價值...（且實在搞不懂修復版上色的意義在哪
李白烈士永远是我心中的英雄，那永不消逝的电波会永远在我的脑海中回响
——向尊重历史的上色师、修复师傅们，致敬！
另有一个不很重要的细节，是在何兰芬去接李侠出狱的时候，一对夫妻匆匆走过她的身后，只听丈夫说“住监狱就跟住宾馆一样舒服”。他们转瞬即逝，脸都看不清，这句男人用来安慰妻子的话却太清晰了。就是这些不少人都毫不关心、会被忽略的细微努力，结结实实地打动了我。
列兵许三多，你必须记住，你是第四千九百五十六名钢七连的士兵！列兵许三多，有的连因为某位战斗英雄而骄傲，有的连因为出了将军而骄傲，钢七连的骄傲是军人中最神圣的一种！钢七连因为上百次战役中战死沙场的英烈而骄傲！列兵许三多，钢七连的士兵必须记住那些在五十一年连史中牺牲的前辈，你也应该用最有力的方式，要求钢七连的任何一员记住我们的先辈！列兵许三多，抗美援朝时钢七连几乎全连阵亡被取消番号，被全连人掩护的三名列兵却九死一生地归来。他们带回一百零七名烈士的遗愿在这三个平均年龄十七岁的年轻人身上重建钢七连！从此后钢七连就永远和他们的烈士活在一起了！列兵许三多，从这个意义上来说，我们是活在烈士的希望与荣誉之间的！列兵许三多，我们是记载着前辈功绩的年轻部队，我们也是战斗的部队！
第一次完整地观赏了本片，还是彩色修复版的，只想说一句，那时候的艺术家真的很了不起！
同志們，永別了，我想念你們，伴隨著他發報的身影，是渡江戰役和上海戰役的勝利畫面，這個鏡頭運用極其經典，感人至深。
——兰芬同志侧脸特别像吴莺音。
大概是因为上一部给了友情分，这一部真的给不下去。巧合太多，情节刻意。
彩色4K复原版，我真的眼睛都要瞎了。剧情蛮紧凑的。大家都说男主帅，但是我一直在注意男主的发际线😥只觉得男主长得很伟光正。
看罢《永不消逝的电波》，才发现之后60多年所有的谍战类型片都不过如此。它把一种英雄主义做到了极致，李侠这个人物伟岸得似乎没有弱点，人物不够立体、脸谱化也是当时文艺界的整体风气。但全片没有废镜头，全都是为了推进故事而服务，也能看出导演编剧的造诣颇深。感情牌打得好，作用远大于说教。今天和父母说起4K修复彩色版上映的消息，二老都非常激动。感谢修复师们的艰辛劳动！！期待更多修复老电影上映！
这新海报还不如以前的，这张第一眼就是爱情片的感觉。是谁在负责这件事，简直瞎搞
电影没有把辣椒水，老虎凳这些用刑的场面拍的太多，相当克制。现在的电影，动不动就是血肉横飞的大场面，主角受刑，如果不打个十分钟，那简直不是拍电影。
孙道临一开始看着不像干革命的，后来就觉得“好棒啊！李侠！”
孙道临好美好美好美好美！！真想穿越回在村头打麦场放电影的时代，一遍一遍看了又看。
孙道临真的是眼里有光，让人相信我们能看到一整个黎明。
